Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at [email protected] with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I’ll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I’ll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.

Mom’s Ford Grenada shopping car was dy-no-mite until it rusted through. Having ordered a Mustang engine under the hood made it something of a stealth “442” idling at 35 MPH and you could bark the tires just by putting it in gear..

I bought a Vega that actually had a carve out in the left rear quarter that housed a fire extinguisher.

I see most people voted for “Scolding American Crossroads”. I don’t consider that the act of an amateur. That was a calculated move to distract the people from F & F. The leftist media is giving it’s utmost effort to ignore or “pooh-pooh” this scandal. Worse than Watergate…worse than Iran-Contra.

Though putting the gas tank forward of the rear axle wasn’t the greatest idea much of that was media hype because just about any gas tank could leak if hit hard enough. Against a cement truck or a bus pretty much any car would be bad news.

I knew a few people whose college cars were Corvairs the ones which Ralph Nader smeared to make his loot. I think they were fairly pleased with those Corvairs.

So… I decided to it in them all and reminisce – and then to get in the “back seat” of these cars. With my old joints, it was hard and painful!

I just started helplessly laughing. Couldn’t stop – once I wedged myself into the back of the B-210.

How did Americans of that era shoehorn themselves into those things? Your head was boxed in by side pillars and the roof, about 4 to inches clearance in all direction. You were actually PART of the CAR!! No room to move. The insanity of the unsafety just made me lose it. And I lost it some more it was remembering that in high school, before my friends and I could drive, the lady with the B-210 would put two of us in the front seat and FOUR ACROSS in the back seat – and then try to make it up the hill to school. You could feel your seatmate’s ribs expanding with each breath!!!.

The memory that made me completely lose it was of another friend’s B-210 – that we would take “curb jumping at night.” Four or five of us crammed in there – actually pressed up against the car’s interior – and he gets a long approach run going and then pops the right wheels up onto the sidewalk where there was a long stretch w/o a driveway or poles on the sidewalk…. floor it up to 35 mph – flying down the street half on and half off the sidewalk – and then when the driveway came, he’d gun it and swerve left and launch the car into the air off the far side of the driveway – back into the street… all of us laughing like maniacs as the B-210 would crash down on the suspension and then take one crashing bounce up into the air as we all mashed into one another in the back seat and our heads bounced off the roof and side windows…..

The trip to the junkyard brought it all back and I went home light of heart.

He was bored with all that talk about economics and such, and no one really caring about what he thought or had to say. No point thinking about it and trying to take it seriously anyway, as he already knows socialism is the wave of the future. He wanted to smoke a cigarette but could not. So, like a bored adolescent girl, he chewed gum.

– Urges action to protect jobs of teachers and first responders Obama already claims on WH website to have saved — so that he doesn’t have to “save them again” with another trillion-dollar stimulus?

– WaPo review of Obama presser: “The president says “uhhh” too much.” — this is because he’s an idiot…surely you wouldn’t mock an idiot, would you?

– Chewing gum throughout Group of 20 summit with world leaders — it was tense, and he really, really needed to smoke a fag a cigarette…you understand.

– Scolds American Crossroads for lack of transparency … on same day Obama asserted executive privilege in Fast & Furious probe — yeah, but … Koch brothers! or something.

– WaPo: Obama gets kind of thin-skinned when his tactics are used against him — but, as noted above, he’s an idiot and has affirmative action support; you wouldn’t expect a level playing field for an affirmative action idiot, would you?

I knew a few people whose college cars were Corvairs the ones which Ralph Nader smeared to make his loot. I think they were fairly pleased with those Corvairs.

I got my very first ticket in a Corvair. I was a year short of my licence but warming the car up in the driveway for my sister (her car) and yes she was in college and liked that car.

I decided it would be cool to back out and then pull back into the driveway. The Corvair stalled and would not restart… A cop came by about a minute after I pulled out… Very bad luck huh?
–
I never did like that car after that.

I voted for the one with Obama asserting executive privilege on the same day he demands transparency from an opposing group.

But really, it doesn’t even matter that he demanded transparency on the same day. The very fact that Obama asserted executive privilege took an issue he could label as “hyper-partisan” while the media studiously pretended nothing ever happened and turned it into a story that nobody could ever ignore again.
